guess how information was stored in order to update a customer address, a few clicks of the mouse and can pull up a customer
file from a database. What used to take several minutes to an hour can now be done instantly.
EdTech is everywhere in today’s classrooms, with more teachers using technology than ever before. But what are the real benefits of
using tech in the classroom? Let’s take a look at some of the ways EdTech benefits both teachers and students.

1. Increased student engagement

When students get to use technology, they’re automatically more engaged. Kids love technology, and incorporating it into lessons gets
students excited about learning. Adding technology to existing lesson plans can boost student engagement without requiring teachers to
do a lot of extra work.

2. More collaboration

Technology makes it easier for students to collaborate with one another. Students can work on projects together, communicate
effortlessly at home or in the classroom, and share their work online.

3. Improve digital literacy

Digital literacy is a fundamental skill for students in the 21st century. Knowing how to use technology and the internet will be required
in almost every job that students might have in the future. By incorporating EdTech into the classroom, teachers can help students
improve their digital literacy.

4. Automate grading

In the past, teachers have spent hours after school and on weekends grading papers. There are tons of EdTech tools that can cut down
on this time, automating grading and making measuring student progress simple.
 5. Get student data

EdTech can also make measuring student progress through data much easier. Many programs can automatically give teachers data on
students, quickly and easily showing what skills students have mastered and what they need to work on.

6. Stay in touch 24/7

With technology and the internet, students and teachers can stay in touch all the time. There are a variety of apps that allow students to
communicate with teachers (without teachers giving out their personal email or phone number). Students can get homework help and
teachers can send important reminders.

7. Keep up with classroom management

There are lots of EdTech tools designed to help teachers with classroom management. Teachers can keep track of student behaviors and
keep parents informed using technology.

8. Flip the classroom

The flipped classroom, where students learn through reading or lecture videos at home then do projects or discuss what they learned in
the classroom, is only possible through EdTech. This innovative new way of teaching and learning is taking the world of education by
storm.

9. Have more fun

EdTech can make learning more fun. There are tons of educational games and apps that get students excited and turn learning into a
game instead of a chore.

10. Get creative

With EdTech tools, students can do more creative work. Students can create online presentations and digital art to showcase what they’ve
learned.
 11. Go paperless

Going paperless is a popular way for schools to save money (and reduce their carbon footprint). By putting more materials online and
utilizing technology, teachers can cut back on the number of copies they make and save paper.

12. Publish and present student work

Instead of creating a presentation that no one outside the classroom will see, students can use the internet to publish their work for the
entire world to see.

13. Do more research

Learning how to do research is an important skill that teachers have always taught. EdTech just makes it easier. Students can complete
research projects without spending hours in the library and can even continue their research at home.

14. Learn to code

Computer programming is an increasingly in-demand skill. There are a variety of tools for teaching students how to code, even in
elementary school.

15. Teachers save time

Before the rise of EdTech, teachers spent long hours creating lesson plans and grading papers. With technology and the internet, teachers
can find lesson plans and free materials online. Plus, apps and programs designed to grade student work can save even more time.

16. Raise test scores

EdTech can help improve student achievement and raise test scores. Tools that help with test prep and measure students’ progress can
help teachers bring up scores.

17. Bring the classroom home

With EdTech, learning doesn’t have to stop when students go home. Students can continue their learning at home using the internet.

18. Find free materials

Teachers don’t have to pay for workbooks anymore. There are tons of free materials online that can help busy teachers throw together
lesson plans in minutes.

19. Turn review into a game

There are tons of apps available that turn review activities or test prep into fun games for students. This can make otherwise boring
review fun and exciting.

20. Personalize learning for every student

EdTech helps teachers differentiate learning. Students can each work on something different on their individual devices, with each
student focusing on their own areas of weakness.

21. Include ELLs

Technology can help English Language Learners feel included in the classroom. The internet makes translating materials easier than
ever, allowing beginning English learners to participate in activities that would otherwise be too difficult.

22. Stop buying expensive textbooks

Thanks to the internet, schools no longer have to spend money each year on new textbooks. Information is readily available online, and
it’s more up-to-date than with old print books.

23. Provide remediation

There are lots of resources available to help remediate students using EdTech. Students who are below grade-level can use EdTech tools
to get caught up.
 24. Provide acceleration

EdTech isn’t just for remediation—it can also be used for acceleration. Students who are bored with the material the rest of the class is
working on can complete additional projects and accelerate their learning using EdTech.

25. Bring your classroom into the 21st century

It just makes sense to incorporate more EdTech into the classroom. Teachers are responsible for preparing students for a 21 st century
world, and exposing them to technology is a part of that.

What other benefits does EdTech have for students and teachers? Tell us how you’ve seen EdTech benefit classrooms.

Improves engagement

When technology is integrated into lessons, students are expected to be more interested in the subjects they are studying. Technology
provides different opportunities to make learning more fun and enjoyable in terms of teaching same things in new ways. For instance,
delivering teaching through gamification, taking students on virtual field trips and using other online learning resources. What is more,
technology can encourage a more active participation in the learning process which can be hard to achieve through a traditional lecture
environment.

Improves knowledge retention

Students who are engaged and interested in things they are studying, are expected to have a better knowledge retention. As mentioned
before, technology can help to encourage active participation in the classroom which also is a very important factor for increased
knowledge retention. Different forms of technology can be used to experiment with and decide what works best for students in terms of
retaining their knowledge.
Encourages individual learning

No one learns in the same way because of different learning styles and different abilities. Technology provides great opportunities for
making learning more effective for everyone with different needs. For example, students can learn at their own speed, review difficult
concepts or skip ahead if they need to. What is more, technology can provide more opportunities for struggling or disabled students.
Access to the Internet gives students access to a broad range of resources to conduct research in different ways, which in turn can
increase the engagement.

Encourages collaboration

Students can practice collaboration skills by getting involved in different online activities. For instance, working on different projects
by collaborating with others on forums or by sharing documents on their virtual learning environments. Technology can encourage
collaboration with students in the same classroom, same school and even with other classrooms around the world.

Students can learn useful life skills through technology

By using technology in the classroom, both teachers and students can develop skills essential for the 21st century. Students can gain the
skills they will need to be successful in the future. Modern learning is about collaborating with others, solving complex problems, critical
thinking, developing different forms of communication and leadership skills, and improving motivation and productivity. What is more,
technology can help develop many practical skills, including creating presentations, learning to differentiate reliable from unreliable
sources on the Internet, maintaining proper online etiquette, and writing emails. These are very important skills that can be developed
in the classroom.

Benefits for teachers

With countless online resources, technology can help improve teaching. Teachers can use different apps or trusted online resources to
enhance the traditional ways of teaching and to keep students more engaged. Virtual lesson plans, grading software and online
assessments can help teachers save a lot time. This valuable time can be used for working with students who are struggling. What is
more, having virtual learning environments in schools enhances collaboration and knowledge sharing between teachers.

Technology as the use of gadgets or equipment to perform a task expediently and efficiently
Impacts of mobile tech in the workplace:

Enhanced Portability

Mobile technology promotes and enhances portability for its users because of the ability to operate wirelessly. There’s no need to
worry about bringing heavy laptops to work, because in some cases, smaller and lighter tablets will suffice. Moreover, employees
don’t have to carry or look through bulky documents once they’ve started digitizing their files for easier access online.

Increased Employee Availability

With the use of mobile applications that can sustain and uphold a company’s long-term gains, it empowers the employees by allowing
them the convenience of working remotely, whenever and wherever. Instead of allotting time to walk through updates with an
employee, they can now access it through their mobile devices wherever they happen to be.

Global Growth

Many businesses aspire to grow globally, and aim to expand to other countries and diversify their markets. However, this will require
a solid plan that will successfully lead to heightened productivity and increase in ROI. This is where this technology comes in.

One of the major ways mobile tech can help is by making client and employee data accessible even from a distant location. This
results in the removal of restrictions on businesses and global barriers. It has already led to the rise of a global workforce that also
promotes 24/7 international workplaces where employees can stay connected.
Technology as the collection of tools, including machinery, modifications, arrangements and procedures
Technology has many effects. It has helped develop more advanced economies (including today's global economy) and has allowed
the rise of a leisure class. Many technological processes produce unwanted by-products known as pollution and deplete natural
resources to the detriment of Earth's environment. Innovations have always influenced the values of a society and raised new questions
in the ethics of technology. Examples include the rise of the notion of efficiency in terms of human productivity, and the challenges
of bioethics.
5 Ways Technology In The Workplace Has Improved Our Lives

Efficiency and Increased Productivity

Employee productivity and efforts have been improved, allowing them to place more emphasis on more important things such as
precision and creativity. The level of expectation of clients and co-workers has also changed as a result of technology in the
workplace, keeping everyone connected on a constant basis. Results are expected much faster than ever before based on this evolution
of technology in the workplace.

Increased Collaboration
With the use of technology, employees, leaders and co-workers can connect with each other anytime and anywhere. With this
dramatic increase in collaboration comes a heightened level of flexibility in communication, allowing co-workers to facilitate
continued partnership no matter where each individual may be. Team work is much more engaged, and boosted to a whole new level.
Improved Cost Management
With the advent of technology in the workplace comes an encouraged productivity in finance. Businesses are much more fiscally
healthy as a result of innovative technological equipment and software entering the office scene. A productive workplace is a
profitable one, which is just one of the important ways that technology has changed our workplace environment for the better.
Heightened Level of Security
Technology in the workplace helps to make sure that information is accessible only to the right people, and makes it nearly impossible
for pertinent company information to be leaked.
A Better Employee Experience
Technology gives employee a better experience because of it helps them make their work efficient and fast.

The teacher as technology

Technology cannot be effective in the classroom without teachers who are knowledgeable about both the technology itself and its
implementation to meet educational goals. While technology use in the classroom is increasing, improving learning through its
application should remain the goal.
A teacher is an important technology asset and this will happen when students learn with technology.
1. Technology is more than hardware.
(Technology consists also of the designs and the environments that engage learners. Technology can also consist of any
reliable technique or method for engaging learning, such as cognitive-learning strategies and critical-thinking skills.)
2. An environment or definable set of activities that engage learners in active, constructive intentional, and authentic learning.
3. Observe as resource materials for reflection and other thinking skills.
Technologies support learning when:
1. Interactions with the technologies are conceptually and intellectually engaging.
2. Should function as intellectual tool kits that enable the learners to build more meaningful personal interpretations and
representations of the world.
3. Learners and technologies should be intellectual partners in the learning process where cognitive responsibility when
performing is distributed to the part of the partnership that perform is the best.
a. The fulfillment of a learning need.
Example: Students can download sample rubrics to enable them to create their own rubric.
b. Interactions with technologies are learner-initiated and learner-controlled.
Example: The students develop power point presentation to make a clear interesting report within a given time limit. When
slides are presented, the classmates can easily understand the ideas being presented.
4. Educational technology as the selection, development, managing and use of appropriate technological process and resources.
a. The teacher and the learner should be able to select technologies which can help learners attain the intended outcomes of
instruction.
5. Educational technology as the selection, development, managing and use of appropriate technological process and resources.
 6. Educational technology as the choice of appropriate principles in the preparation and utilization of conventional and non-
conventional technology tools as well as traditional and alternative teaching strategies.
